Mango Berry Avocado Salad Recipe with a Light Citrus Dressing
2013
This avocado salad with mango and berries is a beautiful combination. Color was the focal point I was going for, combining lots of vibrantly colored ingredients. But it came out with so much more and was loved by all. The flavors are wonderful together and the light citrus dressing is a great compliment to bring out the flavors. It also has great texture with the creamy avocado and crunchy sliced almonds. And this salad is bursting with superfoods, so abundantly nutritious and great for giving you energy, detoxing and making you feel great!
Eat more avocados!
The avocado makes this salad filling with it’s detox friendly healthy fats. The fat content from avocados is known to be naturally slimming. They will make you feel full for longer periods and are a wonderfully healthy and beneficial item to include in your daily diet.
Many people are stuck on the idea that all fats are bad and this is just not true. Fats are not all equal. If you are overweight, healthy fats will help you to lose weight. Different fats work so differently in the body and sometimes, as they all fall under the classification ‘fats’, they all get labelled as ‘bad’ and this is just not true. It’s a common misconception and one that if you want to slim down and feel content and full doing it, you may want to look closer at. If you are not already an avocado lover, consider researching the benefits of them. Then eat more, feel satiated and reap the benefits of their super nutritional powers.
